I can absolutely believe this isn't a fed or an op, just a smug asshole with terminal cerebral mccarthyism. It's such a mindless, foolish thing to say.
Correct. My view is it's not productive or necessary to get into who is or isn't a cop, because at the end of the day it's unknowable. Wrecking/other disruptive conduct is the problem, so I tend to focus on that.
Everything that I've seen from that instance is duplicitous two-faced behavior. I think some people here are still caught up with federation hype. Carving a space for trans people on Lemmy doesn't need to look like a federation of trans instances. It could also look like one giant instance where transphobes, terfs, enbyphobes, chasers, and other reactionaries get sent to the blender and any instance that dares to traffic transphobia receives a warm visit from the All Active Army.
Some of them are. It's difficult to tell if they're using bad arguments in good faith or bad faith, but it is so obviously transparent they have a problem when you engage with the user and they resort to insults or act like they're being attacked
I'm not going to engage in the same erasure as this piece of shit but imagine if we all started highlighting how much of a concern troll/wrecker/"fed pretending to be trans" type of comment this is. I'm not saying it is that to be clear, it just reads like a goddamn fed and you don't see us pissing ourselves and accusing others of not being trans.
Yea, its pretty bad but that's generally been the whole vibe from lemm.ee or blajah. Say the most offensive and improbable shit possible and just pretend like they asked about the weather.

"If you're not a cop, you're doing a cop's job" applies. Wrecking (and similar conduct) is bad no matter who it's from.

Hey, they could be a fed and still actually trans. The CIA is very progressive about who it hires as Gestapo agents.
But really I think they are a youngish trans liberal in denial.

That kind of pig headed, stupid, aggressive ignorance has been very frustrating during this whole experiment with federation.
